Been plugging away with stuff. Got the chassis aligned and tightened up all the suspension parts. Painted the revised trans cross member and installed the drive shafts.
The fuel lines are plumbed. They are aluminum and are secured with insulated rubber clamps. While at it, I finished the brake lines, using all stainless hard line and braided stainless flex lines. Ran the hose for the rear ARB and set the rear body wiring harness into place.
Found that my reverse light switch on the trans was no good. A Dodge one is close to $70. The GM version is clocked a little different but works the same and is only about $15. Got that ordered and had to rig up a pigtail. Turns out a 2 prong weatherpack connector fits perfect!
Next up was the exhaust manifold and turbo. Had to modify the turbo drain line to make it line up with the fitting on the engine, as I am trying to use a different exhaust manifold. Then I set the body back down to check everything out. Of course it won't fit... The down pipe for the exhaust will be right against the firewall. Time to do some more figuring...
